EasyMotion Studio II
EasyMotion Studio II is the new PC software for Technosoft intelligent drives/motors setup and motion programming.
The Setup part of EasyMotion Studio II has an intuitive user-interface with multi-language support, for commissioning. It includes both a quick setup with one click automatic tuning and an advanced setup with access to all configurable features.
A key feature of Technosoft intelligent drives/motors is their capability to execute complex motions without requiring an external motion controller, thanks to their built-in motion controller. The Motion part of EasyMotion Studio II provides a simple, graphical way of creating motion programs written in Technosoft Motion Language (TML). It automatically generates all the TML instructions, hence you do not need to learn or write any TML code. With TML, you can really simplify complex applications, by distributing the intelligence between the master and the drives. Thus, instead of trying to command each step of an axis movement from the master, you can program the drives using TML to execute complex tasks, and inform the master when these tasks are completed.
EasyMotion Studio users can quickly migrate their projects to EasyMotion Studio II new environment by simply importing them and thus benefitting from all its new features.
EasyMotion Studio II can be downloaded from the link below. During installation, you can choose between a Lite or a Full version.
The Lite version includes only the Setup part of EasyMotion Studio II. Use it when motion programming is done only via a CANopen / EtherCAT master or via a PC / PLC using one of Technosoft TML_LIB motion libraries. The Lite version can be switched to Full version after installation, by introducing in the menu command Help | Registration info a serial number got from Technosoft.
The Full version includes both the Setup and the Motion parts of EasyMotion Studio II. Using Full version you can develop and test complex motion programs written in TML, use new modes of operation, customize homing and error handling routines. To install the Full option you must be in the possession of a license from Technosoft to use the complete version of the EasyMotion Studio software.
EasyMotion Studio – Quick Setup and Programming Guide
Motion Libraries
TML_LIB Motion Libraries are collections of high-level functions allowing you to control, from a PC or a PLC, the Technosoft intelligent drives and motors.
Libraries for PC
| A TML Library for PC is a collection of high-level functions allowing you to control, from a PC, the Technosoft intelligent drives and motors based on MotionChip™ technology. Such a library is an ideal tool for the quick implementation on PCs of motion control applications with Technosoft intelligent drives or intelligent motors.
With the TML Motion Library functions you can communicate with a drive via any of its supported channels (RS-232, CAN-bus, etc.), send motion commands, get automatic (or on request) information about the drive’s status, check and modify its setup parameters, read inputs and set outputs, etc. The TML Motion Libraries can work under Windows (32-bit and 64-bit versions available), or Linux operating system. Implemented as a .dll or .so file, the library can be included in an application developed under C/C++, C#, Visual Basic, Delphi Pascal, or LabVIEW. |

Using a TML Motion Library for PC, you can focus on the main aspects of your application – while the motion programming part can be reduced to calling the appropriate functions and getting the confirmation when the task has been completed.

Libraries for PLC
| A TML Motion Library for PLC is a collection of high-level functions and function blocks allowing you to control the Technosoft intelligent drives and motors based on MotionChip™ technology, from a PLC: Siemens SIMATIC S7-300, OMRON CJ1, or X20CS1070 from B&R. The motion control function blocks are developed in accordance with the IEC 61131-3 standard and represent an ideal tool for quick implementation on PLCs of motion control applications with Technosoft products.
With the TML Motion Library functions you can: communicate with a drive/motor via any of its supported channels, send motion commands, get automatically or on request information about drive/motor status, check and modify its setup parameters, read inputs and set outputs, etc. Depending on the PLC type, the communication is done either directly with the CPU unit, or via a CANbus / RS-232 communication module. |

All these blocks have been designed using the guidelines described in the PLC standards, so they can be used on any development platform that is IEC 61131 compliant.

EasyMotion Studio (not recommended for new applications)
With EasyMotion Studio you can fully benefit from a key advantage of Technosoft intelligent drives/motors – their capability of executing complex motions without requiring an external motion controller, thanks to their built-in motion controller.
EasyMotion Studio includes two modules:
- EasySetUp — for the setup of your intelligent drive/motor, and a
- Motion Wizard — for the motion programming.
The Motion Wizard provides a simple, graphical way of creating motion programs written in Technosoft Motion Language (TML). It automatically generates all the TML instructions, hence you don’t need to learn or write any TML code. EasyMotion Studio is the recommended tool for motion programming using TML. With TML, you can really simplify complex applications, by distributing the intelligence between the master and the drives. Thus, instead of trying to command each step of an axis movement from the master, you can program the drives using TML to execute complex tasks, and inform the master when these tasks have been completed.

EasySetUp (not recommended for new applications)
With the EasySetUp module of EasyMotion Studio you can quickly set up a drive for your application, using only 2 dialogs. EasySetUp is the recommended tool when motion programming and control is done via an external device like an industrial PC or PLC, using for example the Technosoft motion libraries. The output of EasySetUp is a set of setup data that can be downloaded into the drive’s EEPROM or saved onto your PC. At power-on, the setup data saved in a drive’s EEPROM is used for initializations. With EasySetUp it is also possible to retrieve the complete setup information from a previously programmed drive. EasySetUp, complete version, is included in the free demo version of EasyMotion Studio.
